Ingredient Tips and Substitutions
- Potatoes: Baby potatoes are ideal for their small size and creamy texture. If you only have larger varieties like Russet, Yukon Gold, or red potatoes, cut them into evenly sized pieces to ensure even cooking. Adjust the baking time as needed.
- Parmesan Cheese: Freshly grated parmesan offers the best flavor and texture. Use half for the coating and reserve the rest to sprinkle over the roasted potatoes.
- Oil: Extra virgin olive oil adds excellent flavor and holds up well to high heat. Regular olive oil, canola, or vegetable oil are also suitable options.
- Seasonings: A mix of minced garlic, kosher salt, paprika, and black pepper ensures the potatoes are bursting with flavor.
What to Serve With Parmesan Garlic Roasted Potatoes
These potatoes are versatile and pair well with a variety of dishes. Here are a few serving suggestions:
- Grilled or Roasted Meats: Shredded chicken, steak bites, or baked pork chops are all excellent choices.
- Vegetables: Serve alongside roasted asparagus, Brussels sprouts, or green beans.
- Bread: Add crusty French bread, Ciabatta, or focaccia breadsticks to complete the meal.
Storing and Reheating Tips
To store, firs, allow them to cool completely, and then transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3–4 days.
For reheating, the oven is your best option to restore crispiness. A microwave works in a pinch but may result in softer potatoes.
Can You Freeze Parmesan Garlic Roasted Potatoes?
Yes! Follow these steps for freezing:
- Cool the roasted potatoes completely.
- Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for 1–2 hours.
- Transfer the frozen potatoes to an airtight freezer bag or container. Label with the date, and they’ll keep for 2–3 months.
When you’re ready to enjoy, reheat the potatoes straight from the freezer or thaw them in the fridge overnight before reheating.
